Classic FM's brilliant new book 'Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Classical Music...But Were Too Afraid to Ask' is on the Sunday Times bestseller list for the fifth week running.

What is classical music… and why should it be part of everyone's life? Luckily thousands of people are learning the answers to this question and hundreds of others thanks to Classic FM's new book, which is in the top 10 of the Sunday Times Bestseller List for a fifth week.

Answering everything from 'What should I wear to a classical concert?' to 'What are the best recordings?', Darren Henley and Sam Jackson aim to make classical music accessible to everyone, no matter who they are or where they live.

Published in April 2012 in celebration of 20 years of Classic FM, the book has been flying off the shelves as readers around the country begin their own personal discovery of classical music. The book is suitable for seasoned listeners and beginners, and covers all genres - from chamber works to film music.

If you want to lift the lid on some of your own burning classical music queries, you can pick up a copy for £9.99 at any Waterstones, or buy it at Waterstones.com. E-book readers can download a copy for £6.99.
